A warm welcome to subscribers, new and old. Over 300 readers have now subscribed and we rely on this income so please, if you can afford it, sign up! Postage, printing and production of In Our Age costs around £6,000 a year so every little helps.

In issue 35 check out ‘Chick’ Reed’s London fashion shoot and Jim Lawes’ recollections of VE Day. There are memories of the Battle of Arnhem and Vivians the Hereford photographers; of Ross town’s oldest shop and Herefordshire’s most famous citizen, Edward Elgar; of Yeoman buses and Midland Reds; of the Clehonger and Allensmore Home Guard, Tupsley’s Isolation Hospital and Foxley. Can you identify the burning church on the back page?

And keep sending us your memories – without you there would be no In Our Age.

Herefordshire Lore has been collecting, publishing and archiving people's recollections since 1989. Herefordshire Lore works to remember, celebrate and record Herefordshire's past history before it is lost with passing generations. It is run by a group of volunteers who design, plan and gain funding for projects.
